Download or read book Cultural Contact and the Making of European Art since the Age of Exploration written by Mary D. Sheriff and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art historians have long been accustomed to thinking about art and artists in terms of national traditions. This volume takes a different approach, suggesting instead that a history of art based on national divisions often obscures the processes of cultural appropriation and global exchange that shaped the visual arts of Europe in fundamental ways between 1492 and the early twentieth century. Essays here analyze distinct zones of contact--between various European states, between Asia and Europe, or between Europe and so-called primitive cultures in Africa, the Americas, and the South Pacific--focusing mainly but not exclusively on painting, drawing, or the decorative arts. Each case foregrounds the centrality of international borrowings or colonial appropriations and counters conceptions of European art as a "pure" tradition uninfluenced by the artistic forms of other cultures. The contributors analyze the social, cultural, commercial, and political conditions of cultural contact--including tourism, colonialism, religious pilgrimage, trade missions, and scientific voyages--that enabled these exchanges well before the modern age of globalization.

Download or read book New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality written by Linda Daniela and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality discusses the possibilities of using virtual and augmented reality in the role of innovative pedagogy, where there is an urgent need to find ways to teach and support learning in a transformed learning environment. Technology creates opportunities to learn differently and presents challenges for education. Virtual reality solutions can be exciting, create interest in learning, make learning more accessible and make learning faster. This book analyses the capabilities of virtual, augmented and mixed reality by providing ideas on how to make learning more effective, how existing VR/AR solutions can be used as learning tools and how a learning process can be structured. The virtual reality (VR) solutions can be used successfully for educational purposes as their use can contribute to the construction of knowledge and the development of metacognitive processes. They also contribute to inclusive education by providing access to knowledge that would not otherwise be available. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the field of educational technology.
Download or read book Exploring Augmented Reality written by Science And Tran Committee on Commerce and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have heard of, or experienced, virtual reality, which usually involves putting on a headset that covers users' eyes, surrounding them in an artificial world. Augmented Reality, AR, takes digital information and superimposes it onto the real, physical environment. Rather than closing the user off from the real world, AR adds virtual content on top of the real world. Poke�mon GO, the mobile game, accomplishes this by using a smartphone's camera to record the real world while the game displays digital characters over the image on the phone's screen. More advanced AR headsets, currently in development and in use by industry, have mixed reality capabilities that can map the user's surroundings in real time and allow virtual content to convincingly interact with the physical world. These more advanced AR devices and techniques show that the potential of this technology goes far beyond smartphone games and could one day have a major impact on manufacturing, transportation, medicine, and eventually the daily lives of average Americans. For example, imagine a worker in a factory whose job is to assemble an advanced jet engine for a new airliner. With an AR headset, that worker could see step-by-step instructions floating above his work station, with the exact spot he is supposed to weld being digitally highlighted. Advanced manufacturing and other industries have already begun using AR for training new workers and have seen great improvements in safety and efficiency. We often hear about technology replacing workers, but AR provides an opportunity for technology to enhance workers instead, by helping them with their training and making them more productive.
